Tractor News Everything Attachments?

[joea99]

I saw a post in a Kubota FB group about EA declaring bankruptcy. Since it originated on a TYM group, thought it was BS, but the EA FB group is "paused" as of 2/1/2024

Their web site appears unchanged. I called but could only leave a message.

Anyone know the real scoop?

I don’t know anything about tractors and attachments, on here just trying to learn and soak up info. But I know at this stage of life, I’m not putting a 100% down payment on anything to be built and delivered months from now. That just screams a company with a huge cash-flow issue. Hope the customers can recover their money, or at least part of it.

To the OP, there is another thread labeled Everything Attachments, that has oodles of info.

They are locked down either by the law suits or by their county because they are $50k in arrears in property taxes, past due as of 9/1/23.
It doesn't look too promising for those who have paid upfront for implements and have not received a tracking number.

I haven't been following this closely. There were a couple of other threads about it.

They seemed like a good American made brand that took pride in their equipment and equipment design. As well as prototyping and testing their equipment.

But all that also came at a price. And even delays between ordering and shipping.

They also produced some good videos, both serious on how to install and use tractor implements and some almost comical demonstrating the max usage of some of their grapples.

Yeah, I watched their Wicked Tree/Stump bucket videos. It was quite good at taking down small trees and stumps.

Perhaps they went bankrupt due to destroying too many expensive skidsteers.

It seems to be all about an unscrupulous contractor who didn't build the new factory up to specs and EA could not occupy.

Timing can be important. EA would have had to order and pay for equipment and materials only to be prevented from putting the building to work. EA withheld payment on building because it wasn't done right.

Now they are in court (likely taking years). Hopefully they will be able to resurrect the company.

These things don't typically end well. Ten to one it never re-opens.

Not going to "like" this comment yet you are right.
